Tasty Tuesday: Pasta Salad!


Cold Pasta Salad!


I just needed something quick and easy this week and decided to make a pasta salad. It's one I've made before and can easily be fiddled with to fit your mood :)


Just a couple ingredients. You can add in other veggies like cucumber, olives, etc to suit your tastes. 

Chop everything up into little bitty pieces while your past cooks. And combine all ingredients. 
Really. That easy :) 

It's not bad warm but I like it after it's sat in the fridge a bit and the flavors 
have had a chance to mix and mingled a little. 

Do you have a favorite pasta salad? Cold or Warm?
Do you like a creamy dressing or an oil/vinegar dressing?

Cold Pasta Salad Recipe
1 8oz box pasta of choice
1 cup Italian dressing
1 small red onion
green pepper
grape tomatoes
[any other veggies you'd like to add in]

  • Cook pasta until tender 
  • While pasta is cooking chop your veggies into small bits. You can add however much of each you'd like. I used 1 small red onion, 1/2 green pepper, 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes this time
  • Drain pasta and add all veggies to it
  • Add 1 cup of Italian dressing and mix well
  • Allow to cool and serve!
